This World No Tobacco Day, Kenya’s 2.3M smokers need support — not “quit or die.”
With 12,000 deaths yearly, let’s help adult smokers move away from cigarettes, protect youth, and accelerate a smoke-free Kenya.

Dr. Kariuki urged government to avoid taxing safer alternatives the same way as cigarettes.
He called for fair tax incentives that encourage adult smokers to switch to less harmful options, while maintaining strict controls to prevent youth access.

Dr. Kariuki called for smoker education on safer alternatives, citing Hon Lik’s innovation after losing his father to smoking-related illness.
#HRSK#HarmReduction#TobaccoControl
Dr. Kariuki proposed safer alternatives for adult smokers, backed by modern monitoring such as biometric checks to prevent access by children and new users.

Dr. Kariuki Michael urged stakeholders to engage, talk, and negotiate with government on the Tobacco Control Amendment Bill.
“Policy should not be quit-or-die. It must protect public health while ensuring adult smokers are not left behind.”
#HRSK#TobaccoControl#HarmReductionKE
Dr. Kariuki: “Kenya must follow science-led tobacco control. Safer alternatives may reduce harm for adult smokers, but they are not risk-free and must be regulated to keep children away.”
Tobacco kills up to half of users who don’t quit.
